About this Event

This is going to be a special sparkling one! We were set to focus on South Africa’s still wines… but first, we’re kicking off with a Cap Classique Takeover – South Africa’s sparkling answer to Champagne!

Starting the evening in sparkling style with six superb Cap Classique wines, we’ll then journey to one of Stellenbosch’s most celebrated estates: Kleine Zalze. With a history dating back to 1695, Kleine Zalze blends tradition with a modern, minimal-intervention approach, letting each wine truly express its varietal character.

What’s included:

  • 6 Cap Classique sparkling wines
  • 3 elegant white wines
  • 3 expressive red wines
  • A 2hr fun, informal and informative evening
  • Cheese & charcuterie nibbles & another glass of wine with a chat
  • This tasting will be presented by Wine Events Scotland’s Diana Thompson

Along the way, we’ll explore the people, land, and terroir that make these wines so distinctive. A perfect evening for all wine lovers, especially those interested in South Africa’s winemaking heritage.

Come on your own or with a friend, whatever your interest or knowledge of wine everyone who enjoys wine is welcome at this stunning Burke & Hare Room in Hotel du Vin.

Our Wine Workshops are for guests aged 18 or over only.

Join us for an enjoyable wine tasting experience.
